About the job

People Business Partner

Some HR roles are all process.

This isn't one of them.

We're looking for a People Business Partner who loves helping managers navigate the messy, human side of business. Someone who knows that the best employee relations cases are often the ones that never become formal because you've coached a manager to have the right conversation at the right time.

You'll be the trusted advisor, sounding board and problem-solver who helps our leaders make great people decisions while balancing commercial reality with fairness, empathy and common sense.

What you'll be doing

You'll partner with managers across the business, helping them tackle everything from performance conversations and employee relations to coaching, recruitment support and day-to-day people challenges.

Working alongside the Head of People, you'll:

• Build trusted relationships with managers who genuinely value your advice.
• Coach leaders through tricky conversations before they become bigger issues.
• Lead on employee relations cases including disciplinary, grievance, absence and performance.
• Conduct investigations and support formal processes where needed.
• Help managers understand their options rather than simply telling them what to do.
• Support and mentor the HR Advisor, sharing your knowledge and experience.
• Balance risk, legislation and commercial reality to deliver practical people solutions.
• Contribute to improving People processes and driving positive change across the business.

We're looking for someone who...

✔ Has experience as a Senior HR Advisor, HR Business Partner or People Partner.

✔ Knows employee relations inside out and can confidently manage complex cases.

✔ Has worked in a commercially-focused environment such as Tech, Marketing, Retail

✔ Is an excellent coach who asks great questions instead of giving quick answers.

✔ Builds credibility quickly and isn't afraid to challenge managers when needed.

✔ Understands employment law but knows that great HR is about judgement, not just policy.

✔ Can juggle multiple priorities without dropping the ball.

• ✔ Stays calm, balanced and professional—even when everyone else isn't.
